Now that spring is here, it's time to start thinking about giving your home a good deep clean. But where do you even begin?
Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start, and that includes your home. A thorough spring cleaning can help to declutter your space, remove built-up dirt and dust, and give your home a much-needed refreshing (and restyling!!).
Is your home in need of a makeover? If your rooms are feeling cluttered and outdated, it might be time to declutter and restyle. This doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money or even hire a professional; with a little bit of effort, you can easily transform your spaces!
Get rid of any pieces that are no longer serving a purpose or that you simply don't like anymore. Once you've pared down your belongings, you can start thinking about how to best arrange what's left.
Here are some tips to help you spring clean like a pro!
Sit down and make a list of all the areas in your home that you want to focus on cleaning (or styling!). This will help you stay organised and focused as you tackle each task.
Once you know what needs to be done, you can start shopping for additional furniture and accessories. A few well-chosen cushions and throws are a simple, yet effective way to can create a fresh look and feel.
Keep in mind that less is often more when it comes to restyling – so don't feel like you need to buy everything new.
Finally, remember to have fun! Restyling and spring cleaning should be an enjoyable process that allows you to express your personal style.
Once you know what areas you're going to be cleaning, make sure you have all the supplies you need on hand. This includes things like vacuum cleaners, mops, buckets, sponges, and cleaning solutions.
When it comes to cleaning products, there's no need to choose between eco-friendly and effective.

As anyone who has ever gone through a closet purge knows, getting rid of old clothes can be strangely satisfying. Not only does it make your space feel less cluttered, but it can also give you a much-needed sense of fresh start.Â
One of the most important parts of spring cleaning is getting rid of items that you no longer need or use. Go through each room in your house and weed out clothes that don't fit, toys that your kids have outgrown, and dishes that you never use.
Most of us have too many 'things' that haven't been carefully curated or thought about. The best way to approach a purge is with a clear idea of your goals. Ask yourself why you want to declutter. Are you trying to create more space in your home? Are you trying to simplify your life? Once you know your motivations, you can start making decisions about what to keep and what to let go of.
Try organising your clutter into different baskets to keep your things organised. We love using Vintage Indian Trays crafted from teak, these old storage trays are as useful as they are beautiful. They may have once been used to transport grain and spices to village markets or to store essential items in a household of Rajasthan.
Place yours on a sideboard in your home to hold a display of precious items or even in your kitchen as an imaginative breadbasket or fruit bowl. It would also make a whimsical and practical storage solution in your child’s bedroom for all of their blocks and treasures.
Not only will this decluttering help make your home look nicer, it will also make it easier to keep things clean going forward!
When most people think about spring cleaning, they focus on big tasks like shampooing carpets and washing windows. But don't forget about all of the little things that need to be done as well!
Take some time to dust ceiling fan blades, clean out vent covers, and wipe down light switch plates. These tasks may not take much time individually, but they can make a big difference in how clean and finished your home feels as a whole.
Pay special attention to areas that tend to collect dust, such as baseboards and windowsills, our Feather Duster is perfect for picking up dust around the home. Their static electricity attracts stubborn dust, making your life a whole lot easier. This beautiful, elevated domestic staple has been crafted from natural feathers paired with a leather ferrule and hanging strap.
Sometimes, all it takes is restyling the little things. A few fresh flowers in a vase, a new throw pillow for the couch, or a colourful piece of art hung on an empty wall can make all the difference.
Spring is the perfect time to experiment with new looks and bring fresh energy into your home. So don’t be afraid to try something new – you might be surprised at how much you love it.
Spring cleaning can be daunting, but just remember to take it one step at a time. Focus on one area at a time and before you know it, your whole house will be sparkling clean!
When you're actually doing the cleaning, start from the top of the room and work your way down. This will prevent dirt and dust from falling onto already-cleaned surfaces.
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
Don't forget to clean areas like baseboards, light fixtures, door knobs, and window sills. These are often overlooked but can make a big difference in the overall cleanliness of your home.
Lighting always has a huge impact of the feel of a space. Do your bulbs have a cold feeling to them and you feel like you're missing out on the warm, welcoming glow? It's time to swap them out!Â
Restyling is also about the little details. Clean lines, well-placed artwork, and a carefully curated collection of furniture and accessories can make all the difference in creating a stylish and inviting space. But what about those times when you just can't seem to find the right piece to tie everything together?
That's where restyling comes in. By considering the proportions, scale, and placement of your existing pieces, you can give your space a whole new look. Just a few simple changes can refresh your room and give it a whole new feel. So don't be afraid to experiment. With a little creativity and ingenuity, you can find new ways to style your favourite space.
Once your house is sparkling clean, it's important to maintain that level of cleanliness by creating a regular cleaning schedule. Decide which tasks need to be done daily, weekly, and monthly, and make sure to put them on your calendar so you don't forget!
If everyone in your family pitches in to help with the cleaning, it will be much easier to keep your home clean all season long.Â
